When I was a child I wanted a cat and one day a bedraggled calico kitten showed up at the back door. My father, who considered himself a cat hater, only relented because I was very ill at the time. Fast forward a couple of months and my father has my mother and me doing all his bidding because "I've got the cat on my lap and I don't want to disturb her." She lived to be a very spoiled 22.
My cat is a Minx, meaning she is a hunting cat, so nights are fun. She's thankfully getting nicer as she gets older. Her name is Luna! Luna has started to let me hold her more often, which I am thankful for. I am getting more cuddles!!
People don’t like cats because they have boundaries. You have to earn their love just like you do with a real person. Dogs are high maintenance and needy.
So true. When my cat gets needy he just wants to be around me. My old dog would want all the attention in the world. Which is fair but I don't want to deal with that.
True. And they vary. One cats boundaries are not the same as others. My present cat is pretty much like stuffed animal (with me, anyway). Snuggle and cuddle as much as I want, carry/hold however I want, pet wherever I do, he has no complaints and is a melting happy ball of purr.
@@1chienandalou yup! that’s adorable, and you’re right about the boundaries. I have two cats and one of them is like a big teddybear. My other cat though, he only wants affection when its on his term; doesn’t like being held, doesn’t like his back being pet etc.. so I respect that. If I do pick him up, or pet him too much, he’ll show a clear sign that he doesn’t want it. He’ll only get seriously violent if you keep following him around trying to touch him. He still always wants to play. He doesn’t avoid my presence, he’s not aloof. Its just called wanting personal space.
My dad “didn’t like animals”, it took me ages to convince him to get a kitten. Few months of having him, my dad carries him around the garden on his shoulder and every afternoon they take a nap together. Cats are awesome!
I am a 51 year old tattooed, big biker looking dude and I have 7 precious kitties. They are my babies. I love coming home to them after a long day of work.
My husband has been suffering from anxiety ever since his heart surgery. He wanted a dog (he's a dog person), but there are a host of reasons why getting a dog wasn't feasible. I adopted a cat, and she is his soul mate. She hangs out with him all day, sleeps on a stool on his side of the bed at night and he hasn't had an anxiety attack in over a year.
I was a dog guy for 40 years then my daughters wanted a kitten that grew into a cat. Then they sort of lost their attraction for it. After a couple years, me and the cat got very close. I owned the cat 16 years... She taught me all about being a cat.
I’m a dog person but when I got my first cat, every time I had a panic attack or cried she would run to me and purr and force snuggle me. She snuggles aggressively until I’m laughing again. I think they do love. She’s such a therapy cat ❤️👑👑
Happened the same to me when I was little I had a cat who would always come to me when I was crying, I have been a cat lover ever since.. I miss him so much..
I have always thought I didnt like cats. I still say I'm not a cat person and yet I some how have acquired 4. 😂 I can tell my cats apart just by the way they sound coming down the stairs
My late husband was the king of cat haters! Until I took him to adopt one to keep him company at home during the day after he became disabled and in a wheelchair permanently. He then TOTALLY became a the best cat daddy there ever was! And he said to me, “ I just never realized just how bonded you can be… how much is just an “understanding “ of love you can have with them!” It is something so intimate , so personal at times that it can almost feel like ESP! I love my cats.. and to hear that from him meant the world to me! He bought his cat, “Fu Shen” the very best food, toys, water and a litter box that flushed away with the toilet hookup! He told me several times he had awakened in his recliner to find Fu Shen on his chest with his nose in his face… checking to make sure his breathing was okay… his love affair with cats began, and grew until he passed away in 2017…. At the time we had about 30 cats and kittens we fostered… the happiest I’ve ever seen him!
Not to mention he didn't realize just how CUTE they are!! Fostered...right...more like you made a half hearted attempt to find them a "forever home" and then was like aww, screw it, I'll just keep them for myself! That is often how "fostering" kitties goes, doesn't it? :D
U people are are crazy cat lovers so accept that all people are not cat lovers and don't dare any one to keep cat because of your Love for cats take people cats n keep them why 30 keep 100 and 1000
I had all these rules for our kitten. She couldn’t be in our bed etc. The first night we put her in her bed and closed the door to the room. She meowed incessantly, so we opened the door, and I told my wife “she’s to small to jump on our bed,” she clawed her way into the bed and has slept with us for three years. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for her.
"They don't really love you." I would actually argue the opposite? As I often tell people, dogs will love you regardless of almost anything you do, but if you have a cat's love you know it's because you actually _earned_ it.
I know.. in a family or a relationship everyone one has to give there love. if you don't give love to a cat before. how will that make it want to love you
Wrong , I have had more than 6 cats, as soon as i got a dog, i became a dog person. They are way better and loving. I have never felt emotional towards an animal before except for my beautiful Belgian malinois. Cats on the other hand are just lazy and they like us doing everything for them, at the end of the day they don't care lol.
People hate cats bc they think they should be cute and play around and blah blah blah blah BLAH. WELL that’s Truth love111 cats are calming instead of making u tired
I really hate how dog people insist cat's don't actually love you. Just because you never managed to win a cat's affection doesn't mean they aren't capable of love.
I was freezing cold once because our radiators broke. Before we could get them fixed, it was loads of blankets all round. Mine were thin. Our cat realised I was cold and snuggled up to me, it was just the best.
I know right? Whenever I ask my friend if they love cats, some of them do and still like dogs. But when I ask a dog lover if they also like cats they get mad. LITERALLY. They say that cats destroy everything and they never love you back and they always scratch you when they never even owned a cat before. Like, why?
Having a dog is like having a child that never grows up - you get love without work but keeping them alive and healthy is a lot of work. Having a cat is like having a roommate - taking care of them is not a lot of work but building a relationship with them takes effort. Personally I prefer cats. I find it more rewarding to know that a cat likes me for being kind to them and I appreciate that I can just hang out with my cats without them needing something from me all the time (except food).
Idk why cat owners try to prove the superiority of cats by bringing dogs down.If u want to clear misunderstandings abt cats, feel free to do it.Why drag dogs when u clearly don't know abt them at all?
@@riddhijadhav9467 as far as I know Dogs are dirty. I had a friend who had two dogs and her home stinked big time And dogs attack strangers without reason Too protective. I don't need to get protected in front of my mother or partner for God's sake And dogs also attack so many people every year fatally
True! I have a British Longhair named Princess and when I first met her, I asked her if I could pick her up, she almost leaped into my arms. Cats know who to trust.
The main problem is that people expect cats to act like dogs. But they are such different animals, they think and express love differently. Once you get to know more about how cats think, they are so much better and can really be appreciated :)
A cat loves you when they trust you. They don't automatically trust you but once they do. They REALLY love you. I wasn't a cat person until my first stray and I am so happy for that day otherwise I would have always just been a dog person. Now I am lucky to be both.
They don't love anyone at all FFS they literally use you for food and shelter they would happily go to anyone for the same reasons lol they genuinely don't love you at all , stop being so deluded, dogs are a man's best friend and will love unconditionally.
@@simonhughes6772 you are deluded for even saying that. Okay so a dog is capable of loving and a cat isn't. That is so ridiculous of you to say. When I sit down they come and sit next to me and purr. They have food in a bowl that's left out all day so I know they don't want food. When I move my cat to lay on her bed she gets right back up and comes back over to me. She wouldn't do that if she didn't care for me. When I am outside she follows me around and while I garden. She lays in the grass right next to me as I fix the flowers and follows me in when I finish she loves being around me.
The way I say it is "you aren't a cat person until a cat CHOOSES you?" Cats are way more like people than dogs are! There are a lot of people that you have to really work to become friends with and a lot of cats are that same way!
My parents always hated cats until I finally convinced them to let me get one. Now my dad spoils Freya, bringing her toys & playing with her while my mum feeds her way too many treats, haha
nah ,i dunno about that....on our door also a lot of cats showed up,but they were just bored or wanted food. They had owners (our neighbours) and i would never keep a cat that shows up regulary. I mean its okey if you checked if they are missed by someone and cant find a owner. Imagine someone just keeps your cat, thats terrible.
@@missblueberry1033 When you walk the neighborhood with a sick/injured cat and keep getting every door closed in your face, then take the cat in and post it locally, pay the vet's bill, grow attached to it, keeping it is most certainly the right thing to do. When no one steps up and will admit to letting their pet out to get injured/sick or dumping it, it is pretty safe to say that you can keep that cat with no problem. I have never kept a cat that I didn't try to track down an owner. With that said, I currently have several who absolutely no one will claim. There are far more people tossing out cats that they don't care about (and who are too inconvenient) or dumping cats when they are hurt then you think.
@@missblueberry1033 -- I have always tried to make sure the cat was a feral or stray, and put up fliers and even get flea collars on which II write "Am I your cat? If so call ...." Not once has anyone responded. In my area cats are throw-away creatures, and I am quite familiar with the neighbor cats and the colony and community cats that are only looking for a hand-out and not looking for a forever home.
I’ve had my cat for 18 years. She is my everything. She’s an old baby and i don’t know how anyone could hate her. She cries all night due to dementia sometimes, but I’m glad I’m able to be there for her in this time of need. And I will be there with her until she passes on :)
tip: if you get a new cat and it goes under the couch or instantly hides, it's completely natural for cats. Do not try to lure them out or watch them instead just let them come out themselves at their own time.
Yep. Trying to go after them stresses them out. Cats will come to you once they sense you're safe. People that are stressed out about them stress them out in turn. Once you're calm, they'll be calm and want to be with you.
Cats are very alert in New areas as they are small and have retained their instincts much better than dogs have. If you leave it alone for a while it will gradually understand theres nothing to fear and will eventually walk around freely.
Cats are prey animals as well as predators. Dogs aren’t prey. That means that cats are more cautious and careful than dogs. They start off by finding a safe place to go if something bad happens.
Emily Thompson So are they doing it to be quirky or because they got scratched? You’re contradicting yourself. I personally dislike cats for neither of those reasons.
Cats are incredible. I got my Cat Jojo in November 1987 after my Mamma suddenly died, I looked for days found him in newspaper ad. When I got to his home the owner said he was going to Shelter because not nice. He came up to me knew how much pain I was in & just let me hold him crying screaming & Loved me. He saved my Life. All animals are gifts Dogs, cats, ect....
Okay, cats do really love you, you just have to earn their trust. And it depends on what cat you get; Some cats can be mean and terrible, and others can be sweet and loving.
+Zynab Abdelhameed Hamsters are evil, lol. If there's a mean pet.. it's a dwarf hamster. Not sure who thought keeping hamsters was a good idea. Cuteness only goes so far..
I always laugh when people say "I'm not a cat person." And then they end up with a cat and become obsessed with them! My dad HATED cats, hated them with a passion and claimed he was "allergic" to them. Our neighbors moved and abandoned their cat Belle, who migrated into my parents yard. I was surprised when my dad said we could feed her outside because he hated strays in his yard. This went on for about a year or two when finally, this past winter we got really bad snow storms, he let her inside (on his own mind you, no one asked him if she could come in.) And the two have been best friends ever since. He won't admit it but he loves that cat, I'll catch him talking to her or snuggling with her and when I make a comment about it he just says "The cat wants food... you should feed her." Lol, it's so funny.
Lots of Dads are tough on the outside but total softies on the inside, almost the exact same thing happened with our Tabitha. She was left by the neighbors, fed on our porch for awhile, got too cold/wet outside so she came in on a "temporary" basis, now almost 20 years later she's curled up nice and snug with my dad cooing to her like she's a baby. ❤😽
My dad hated cats and my mom surprised me with a kitten as a graduation present. My dad got super pissed and when he found out and I was crying and begging him to let me keep him. Now my whole family loves my cat and they understand why I love cats so much lol
Sounds to me like your Dad is just being kind. There is a difference between loving a cat and just putting up with it. I absolutely detest cats. But if I saw one starving or out in the cold I would let it stay on my enclosed porch for the night. But that’s not because I love them. That’s because I’m a human being. And he’s out come morning.
I love how they fell in love with the cats. She’s so right, “you don’t know you’re a cat person until you get a cat.” She’s so right. My boyfriend hated cats and wouldn’t let me get one and I said, “screw you, I’m getting one anyways.” Now he loves cats and whenever he meets someone and finds out they have a cat he says, “Oh! I have a cat too!!” And starts showing off ALL of his cat photos. He loves meeting other cat people
Most cats do have a poop-parasite that alters the mind of their victims: making them more docile (aka easier to catch). Toxoplasma gondii. So it could be that he used to hate cats, until the cats injected their brain-parasite into him, now he loves cats. (just kidding more or less, toxoplasma only makes mice and rats more docile, the effects on humans is minute).
The same thing happened to my best friend. She didn’t like cats a lot at first and we got into our first fight because of the cats vs dogs argument. Now she has a cat and loves both cats and dogs equally
My two cats are our greatest blessing. The girl always sits on the body part that’s not well like oh my head is sore she will sit on my head on my pillow and then she grounds on earth to release it . Cats are absolutely healing and beautiful. Proud cat mummy here 🩷
Yeah... my partner begrudgingly agreed to let me get a cat (dog person, apparently), and it took all of three days before he was absolutely besotted with her. "Are you even watching the film, or are you just staring at the cat?" "SHE'S JUST SO ADORABLE I CAN'T LOOK AWAY"
This 😂 my partner was the same and then he moved in with my cat and I, now I catch him doing this constantly. Eventually I have to tell him to give my cat space from all the lovin 😂
True! I got a puppy a few days ago and she’s made my whole house spell like pee and had teared up my couch (I’m not blaming her for that cuz she’s a dog I’m just saying)
When my husband and I first got together, he told me that he was 100% a dog person. He never grew up as a family pet when he was little, either. I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs. I had two cats when we got together. Currently, we now have SEVEN cats.
My dad: I hate cats Also my dad a few weeks after we got a cat: EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THAT PIECE OF STEAK I BOUGHT IT FOR RYAN ONLY (the name of our cat)
篠崎千里 My mom’s friend used to hate cats. One day her daughter brought a cat to the house but she was scared and hated the cat. One month later or something, she started loving the cat more than her children
If they had ever owned a cat, they wouldn't say they didn't like them. It's essentially the same as the child who claims he doesn't like a kind of food when he's never even tried it.
I've noticed that a lot of people say they hate cats because they think they're evil and unloving but honestly they have only heard that. they'd need to actually get a cat to see for themselves /:
Cats are the people who are very hard to understand and you almost have to earn their love but once you have a special bond that cat will always be loyal
Cat Pillow i don’t hate cats perse, its just that cat owners let them run around outside day and night so although i didn’t choose to own a cat i now am obligated to have about six of them from the neighbours ,hunting after nesting birds, eating the baby hedgehogs in my garden etc. Thats what i hate. You want a pet. Fine. But keep them in your own yard don’t bother the neighbours with them.
Cats only turn evil if you sit there and annoy them. And if you raise them right they won't even hurt you when they are annoyed. My cat is a total sweet heart and if I even annoy him he very gently bites you, it doesn't leave a mark and you can't even feel it. If he scratches he does it by accident (like when he's playing or if he gets freaked out)
+asseater007Try it for one week. Then you will see you are a cat person. Even a former teacher of mine said he hated cats then he adopted one or two and he can't get enough of them at all. I told him I told you so.
"You're not a cat person until you get a cat.” Extremely true!!! I don't have a cat YET but when my sister and brother got cats, I've loved them ever since!! I literally used to DESPISE cats even though I never interacted with them. Hope that people give cats more chances because they're amazing ❤
Everyone's entitled to an opinion. But, if your opinion is based on misinformation or stereotypes instead of research and evidence, your justifications will be like Rome; Taking forever to build and crumbling in one day.
@Chad Mower ikr!!! we adopted a street cat when she was pregnant and after 2 weeks she finally let us pet her n she started loving me back.. i had literal tears of joy and happiness.. thats some different level of happy I cant even explain 😭😭😭😭
I feel this same way since I have owned a poodle and a chihuahua. They were SOOOOO not like their stereotypes! They WERE annoying to listen to when they barked at the door, but otherwise, not like what people think of. Also, pet rats. People can only think of the wild, disease-infested ones, not the ones that are actually bred to be pets. Such sweet babies!
I had a similar experience. I went with the stigma that cats are aloof and that they're not affectionate. Now, I've had a cat for 5 years who won't leave me alone! All Lil Fleasy wants is love and attention.
My husband said that he hate cats until I bring one to the house, at this day the cats sleeps with us in the same bed, follow my husband to the bathroom and wait there for him. Now he give kisses, play and pet the cat, and the cat love him. I mean I won.
I became a cat lady at 44. I had no good experiences with cats and was scared of them because they didn't act like dogs. We decided we need a pandemic pet, but I wasn't sure I could live with the noise of a barking dog. My husband mentioned one day that there were hypoallergenic cats. It was like a ligh bulb turned on. I spent hours pouring over articles, books, videos, anything I could find to figure out the best breed for us. We have 2 wonderful Bengal cats now and I wish I'd done this earlier. I was always meant to have cats. Or maybe just my cats.
Mr. BunnyWabbit yeah they never owned a cat BECAUSE they hate cats?! It's like someone that hates the color blue buys only blue t-shirts?? Like why should someone get something if they hate it?
I've never really seen / touched a cat. I think they're cute but don't know how they act. My uncle had a cat but i never really saw it, she used to jump at me and claw my shoes when I did see it. I've had a bad experience with cats so I don't really like them..
My husband was not a cat lover....until we adopted a rescue cat, our Sparky. By the end of one hour (seriously!) he was in love. She was his baby until she (and a Himalayan we got soon after) lived for 17 years. Now we have a very cute White Persian that needed a home. Her name is Squeek, she's a tiny little ball of fur...SO cute, until she eats. Then her face is very dirty so we give her face a wash. She doesn't seem to know where her mouth is!! She is very loved!
That's wonderful! Yet I couldn't help laughing at the last bit. I have a cat too, only that it came to us so we didn't adopt it. My mom used to hate cats, but now she likes them! His name is Crystal because we didn't know it was a boy, so...
Honestly, I've always been a dog person. That is- until this summer when I got my cat xD She loves everyone in the house, she plays fetch and catch, and she's the sweetest little cuddle buddy ever- She's an awesome cat- I couldn't have ever asked for one better than her! Plus, she's very careful- if we put a toy on ourselves, normally she'd pounce, but she knows it would hurt us so she will sit and wait for it to go back on the floor xD She's the sweetest, and I've grown to love her so much even though it's only been eight months with her, and she's not even a year old yet. She really filled up my life, I can't imagine a single day without her- I judged cats too quickly until I got one- never pass up the chance for a cat- they'll really bring a whole new life of fun to you :)
Just got my first cat as an adult and my fiance was so adamant that "this is your cat" And "I don't like cats" And "I don't want anything to do with him" It took him two weeks to go complete cat daddy.
Haha same thing happened with my husband and I at first and now I catch them cuddling all the time and he refers to Lewis (cats name) as his "little buddy" 😂 it's so cute.
I have 2 cats and my big bro always say that he hate cats in front of us but when we are not around he likes to pat them I pretended once that I was sleeping and saw him 😂
I always hated cats but last year I found a stray kitten abandoned on the side of a road near my house and I couldn't bring myself to leave it there. Here we are a year later and I've got two cats now, both strays I took in. Can't imagine life w/o my cats now tbh 😂💛
Harieta Mitchell aww I love hearing things like this! Most cat haters would just walk away from the cat and ignore it and I heard of some doing worse than that, but there’s awesome people like you that still care and try to help it anyway! Thanks Harieta!
Harieta Mitchell I adopted a kitten back in August, who is 7 months now, and a month or two ago we got two foster kittens, and now we are adopting both of them. 😂😻
I dont like cats but my 5yr old wants a dog which we cant get because we are just not home enough to care for one and Im tempted to get a cat but theyre just soo..snobby...so If I ever do give in..I hope this saying is true
+Chgo Gal They're not snobby at all. They're just like people. Some of them are very social like dogs, but most of them respond to how you behave towards them. If they don't know you, they'll ignore you. But if you get to know and love them, they will love you back unconditionally. Plus cats are low maintenance (no need to bath them or walk them), and you don't have to pay attention to them all the time. Just a few moments of bonding a day is all you need (play time and feed time) and you let them do the rest (cuddle next to you, etc)
+Aes Sedai ya and also you don't need bath time cause when they lick them selves that means that they are taking a bath them selves but if they stay too long without bath time then you should totally bath them
Maisa Jabr Totally depends on the breed and if they're strictly indoors or not. Some breeds like the sphinx does need regular baths. And some like the abyssinian will volunteer for baths willingly lol (they love to swim). But my cat doesn't need one at all. She's strictly indoors and hasn't had a bath since we brought her home from the shelter 7 years ago and she's still fine, just needs occasional brushes :)
Last year my family helped a stray cat, she’d walk into our house when the back door was open, her paw was injured. We’d feed her and eventually she let us pet her, much to our other cats disliking (they eventually got along) but my family love animals too much not to help. During the time of the cat becoming familiar with us we did our best to bandage her paw and we took pictures of her and went around our entire neighborhood to see if anyone recognized the cat in the picture but no one did so once she trusted us we took her to our local, trustworthy vets. She had no microchip and to the vet seemed somewhere between domestic and semi-feral because of her attitude and her fur which means she may have previously had an owner who didn’t intend on keeping or loving her. We left her with the vet for 48 hours, our vet bathed her, treated her paw better than we did, checked her for anything that could make our cat sick and gave her injections and flea treatment, he charged us half the normal price because we helped the cat and tried our best to help her paw. We adopted her formally and took her home when the vet called. We named her Luna because she had mysterious, moonlike eyes. The one thing the vet didn’t do was check if she was pregnant but that was because she looked too young to be carrying kittens. She was only 7-8 months old. Not long later her little tummy grew and at first we just thought we were feeding her well but her tummy kept growing, we’d find her sleeping in odd positions that she didn’t sleep in at the start and she wouldn’t be more than a foot away from me or my mum, she’d randomly meow (she was usually a silent cat). One day I was gently rubbing her stomach and felt movement and later invited my friend around who has a queen (a cat who’s had a litter of kittens in the past) and she checked out the cat, she said that cat was definitely pregnant and would probably start trying to nest soon. She gave me some advice which included checking with the vet so we took her to the vet and he confirmed what my friend had told me. One afternoon I couldn’t find Luna. I searched the entire house for her, eventually finding her in a laundry basket with a kittens little back paws sticking out underneath her tail, after a few minutes she started properly yowling in pain as she pushed. After two hours two kittens and a stillborn kitten lay in the laundry basket with her. She wouldn’t let me remove the stillborn kitten so I left her alone to lick it but the resuscitation tactics sadly didn’t work. One kitten was born with deformed legs and a jaw that wouldn’t close, 3 days later he sadly passed away. The one kitten, a little girl was perfectly healthy, a gorgeous gray/blue coloured fur once Luna had cleaned up. Luna mourned the two kittens by howling when she was alone and while we were in bed or out of the house, she was a good mother to the surviving kitten, one night when the kitten was 2 weeks old she fell off the small beanbag that Luna had carried her to but Luna was in her litter box upstairs and the kitten was wiggling around silently so I picked her up and checked her to make sure she wasn’t injured (I wouldn’t leave the room the kitten was in just in case something bad happened) and Luna came back in and bit my leg, I crouched down and showed her the kitten was safe, Luna started licking my hand and then the kittens head. I found the cat carrier, took the lid part and the little door off and placed the bean bag inside and put the little kitten on the beanbag, Luna joined her shortly afterwards, gently licking the kitten. Luna then glanced at me, for me it was a magical moment because for the first time I didn’t see her mysterious eyes, I saw trustful eyes. Luna trusted me which was a blessing. She let me handle the kitten to make sure she was alright, gently rub a finger over her head to pet her and examine her nails to make sure they weren’t broken because of the beanbags fabric. Once the kitten was old enough we started weaning her away from Luna’s company and milk and eventually I introduced the kitten to one of my other friends and she instantly fell in love and wanted to adopt this kitten however they already had a cat who was 8 years old and grumpy, also my friends father cat hated cats (tolerated the cat that lived with them) but my friend was old enough to make her own decisions and adopted the kitten. Not long later Luna sadly passed away, I was unaware because I was away on holiday. But her kitten was happily living with my friend. My friends father began to love the kitten, he’d watch her play and sleep with a smile. Their grumpy cat loved the kitten too, both my friends father and the cat had a new joy in life, this kitten also bought the family back together after some arguments. All I can say is thank you Luna for bringing this beautiful kitten into everyone’s life, she made a cat hater and a cat who hates other cats love her just by being herself and I know Luna would’ve been proud! 💕
“They don’t really love you.” :( my cat literally jumps into my lap and purrs. She loves hugs and kisses and she so affectionate. Cats are capable of so much love!
True those idiots are so annoying I litterly once hat my kitten accidentally and fell on the floor crying and instead of attacking me it came on my lap and hugged me
My cats wait for me at the door when I come home from work. Just sitting there at the top of the stairs waiting for me to come in from the garage. 2 of the 3 follow me just about wherever I go in the house, including the bathroom, been a long time since I've had a private poo, haha. So when some people say cats aren't loyal, they've just never built and earned a bond and the love of a cat.
Milfuelle100 my cats run to the door when I get home. They want to follow me everywhere and lay on my lap. They are so affectionate! I think cats are extremely smart and have to bond a little first before they give you their trust. That’s why I love them and find them so smart. I am the same way as a human. I’m not just gonna run up to a stranger and love them without knowing them first. Cats are definitely smarter than dogs if we are taking about people reading and trust. Maybe when cats don’t like a person they just can already see that that person isn’t very nice or kind.
Cats don’t warm up to you straight away like dogs. It takes a lot of time and patience for them to start liking you. And when they do, its worth it. In a way I prefer cats over dogs.
Nasexsav Kifs Yeah cats are like humans but like some dogs need patients to get used to you because some animals have been abused by human I swear animal abusers are the devil himself!
i wasn't a cat person or animals in general but when i had one, she healed me.. like i never expect myself to love her... she also taught me how to love animals.. i can't imagine myself not knowing my cat anymore..
Me too! It was my brother who initially begged to get a kitten, but it was me who bonded with the catto the most. He really helped me get through rough patches of life.
same cats are so loveing and i dont now why people say they protend to love you if that they mabby even love you more than a dog when you pet a dog the dog gets enjoyment out of it cats feal nothing but they still let you pet them cos they love you
It seems like a hit or miss for me. I've had 4 cats in my life, 3 at one time, and the group of 3 were selfish and unloving. Not saying I would never get another cat but I turned out to be a dog person.
It might be a generalization, but I have met some cats who genuinely hated me and I did nothing to them. I remember my friend owned a cat who would hide under the couch I was sitting on and bite the back of my ankles and if I got careless and let my arm hang over the side of the couch, my fingers were getting viciously bitten. I hated that cat. But I have had a cat that just loved me instantly and I didn't have to do anything to get that love. Just from the moment he saw me and bopped his head against my shin, we were inseparable until he died to some dogs next door. So people who hate all cats just haven't met enough cats to know how awesome they can be.
I am amazed how ignorant people are not even trying to understand how to interact with cats. They will reward you with amazing love if you put effort into understanding them. Few that do, end up loving them. quick tip - never use your hands to play, always have a cat toy.
My family fostered 3 cats 2 short hair and 1 long hair and the log haired one we called Darcy would get poo stuck to her and food so we had to wash her like 3 times but she enjoyed it after she got used to the fact that she couldn't leave till she was clean lol
I love cats that love water, it's so adorable. My cat likes and douse t like water at the same time. He douse t like to be in it but because we let our cat outside sometimes he gets dirt in his fur. Also that is a long haired cat and long hair cats need some help grooming some times.
you think licking itself will get that stuff of its face?? i doubt if it can even reach that area with its tongue. they "clean" themselves, but you still need to properly wash them sometimes
I think it is more of because of things that have been said about cats example: Not loyal, claws up the house, those kind of things but I do agree with you
I love cats and for some reason every person I've met that says they hate cats has interacted with a cat like one time. Once you get to know them they're amazing pets!
I think a HUGE part of it is that people just prefer different companionship, you know what I mean? Cats, dogs, lizards, birds, pigs, goats...You tend to get different types of love and interactions with those animals. People have different ways of connecting with others and our animals, like all relationships.
When I was living with my parents, our cat would come up to my bed and lay on my chest and start purring. That felt amazing. And now whenever I feel stressed I hear that purring sound and it helps me relax.
my mom didn't believe that cats actually loved people until I got her to let me get a cat and now, she cuddles with him and loves him.. same with my other kitty
Im a dog person, and i just think dogs and cats are good depending on the person. If you want a pet to walk and have energetic action around with, get a dog. If you want something quiet and sits on your lap, get a cat. I dont see why people are treating either one like satan XD
Sister Daniel ikr! My cat always greets me when i wake up and gives me kisses. When i come home too. And its not for the food, she has food already. She litteraly freaks out when im in pain (cuz i have endometriosis) she moews as if shes calling for help and tries to confort me. People that think that cats dont love you obviously never had one!
DisturpedPentaholic Ive only had a cat once and he was the most caring creature ever! He once protected my mum from what he sensed as danger, he wouldn't let her go out the house because he heard glass being swept at the upstairs apartment!!
DisturpedPentaholic EXACTLY!!! I got really sick recently and my kitty was with me EVERYWHERE at that time: shower? She's there. Pooping? She's there! Watching funny videos in bed to forget about the pressure of my existence and upcoming exams along with the rapidly growing fear of neglect? SHE. IS. THERE. Sometimes she sleeps beside the front door while I'm at school and then welcomes me with the cutest kitty kisses ever. I don't know how people can say cats are evil, they're the sweetest things in the world! She's laying in bed and watching youtube with me right now 😊
The Raven thats so cute! I recently got a new white kitten, about twelve weekd old. He has one green/yellow eye, and one blue eye. Had to drive like, four to five/six hours in total that day. Definitely worth it, hed so adorable, and he loves cuddling. Cats will love you if you treat them right.
Dogs will automatically like you. With cats, you need to earn their love. It takes time for them to warm up, trust you enough and become affectionate and cuddly.
PSA cats like wider bowls because it’s easier to eat and it keeps their face clean. Their whiskers hitting the sides of the bowl can really hurt and irritate them 🙂
Nadz, now that I think about it I don’t like it either. I usually am not a fan of sappy statements. I kinda forgot I even made this comment, and I think I made it only with cats in mind
I adopted a cat because I was staying with my mom and her dog doesn't get along with other dogs. I had never had a cat, wasn't really fond of cats before. I didn't know what to expect and now he's my baby. He travels with me, he just melts my heart.
When I was a child I wanted a cat and one day a bedraggled calico kitten showed up at the back door. My father, who considered himself a cat hater, only relented because I was very ill at the time. Fast forward a couple of months and my father has my mother and me doing all his bidding because "I've got the cat on my lap and I don't want to disturb her." She lived to be a very spoiled 22.
Wonderful ✨

My cat is a Minx, meaning she is a hunting cat, so nights are fun. She's thankfully getting nicer as she gets older. Her name is Luna! Luna has started to let me hold her more often, which I am thankful for. I am getting more cuddles!!
@@Pinxy_P yay i’m so happy 4 u

People don’t like cats because they have boundaries. You have to earn their love just like you do with a real person. Dogs are high maintenance and needy.
So true. When my cat gets needy he just wants to be around me. My old dog would want all the attention in the world. Which is fair but I don't want to deal with that.
No. Because dogs are a lot more fun to be with
@@mn2368 You clearly haven't owned a cat lol
True. And they vary. One cats boundaries are not the same as others. My present cat is pretty much like stuffed animal (with me, anyway). Snuggle and cuddle as much as I want, carry/hold however I want, pet wherever I do, he has no complaints and is a melting happy ball of purr.
@@1chienandalou yup! that’s adorable, and you’re right about the boundaries. I have two cats and one of them is like a big teddybear. My other cat though, he only wants affection when its on his term; doesn’t like being held, doesn’t like his back being pet etc.. so I respect that. If I do pick him up, or pet him too much, he’ll show a clear sign that he doesn’t want it. He’ll only get seriously violent if you keep following him around trying to touch him.
He still always wants to play.
He doesn’t avoid my presence, he’s not aloof.
Its just called wanting personal space.
My dad “didn’t like animals”, it took me ages to convince him to get a kitten. Few months of having him, my dad carries him around the garden on his shoulder and every afternoon they take a nap together. Cats are awesome!
That is such a wholesome image.
I used to do that with my cats when they were kittens! 😊💕
Wholesome 😸
I WANT A CAT NOW :(
My father is the same! He even told me to make my cat sleep outside but now she sleeps with him.

My husband has been suffering from anxiety ever since his heart surgery. He wanted a dog (he's a dog person), but there are a host of reasons why getting a dog wasn't feasible. I adopted a cat, and she is his soul mate. She hangs out with him all day, sleeps on a stool on his side of the bed at night and he hasn't had an anxiety attack in over a year.
I hope hubby is okay. I'm in heart failure and strangely so is my 10 1/2 year old cat. She's simply amazing, so loving, caring. But I'm to her also.
@@donnaleeah5075 ❤
It's amazing what a companion could/can do for our soul! I'm glad your husband is doing well!
That’s beautiful 😍
Aww, cats really can change your life and make it better! Hope your both doing well.
I was a dog guy for 40 years then my daughters wanted a kitten that grew into a cat.
Then they sort of lost their attraction for it.
After a couple years, me and the cat got very close.
I owned the cat 16 years... She taught me all about being a cat.
Did she teach you the love language of shoving her little paws under the door when you're in the bathroom?
Cats are the best. Low maintenance. Great chill cuddly roommates lol
You mean you served the cat for 16 years. You should know better than that. Dogs have owners, cats have staff.
ok, this made me cry
@@JohnSmith-zw8vp Guess all the cats you've known so far, have outsmarted you 🤣😂🤣
I’m a dog person but when I got my first cat, every time I had a panic attack or cried she would run to me and purr and force snuggle me. She snuggles aggressively until I’m laughing again. I think they do love. She’s such a therapy cat ❤️👑👑
"snuggles aggressively" I love it!
Happened the same to me when I was little I had a cat who would always come to me when I was crying, I have been a cat lover ever since.. I miss him so much..
😻😻😻😻
@Josie Harper I never liked dogs very much before we got one. is that weird?

My late husband was the king of cat haters! Until I took him to adopt one to keep him company at home during the day after he became disabled and in a wheelchair permanently. He then TOTALLY became a the best cat daddy there ever was! And he said to me, “ I just never realized just how bonded you can be… how much is just an “understanding “ of love you can have with them!” It is something so intimate , so personal at times that it can almost feel like ESP! I love my cats.. and to hear that from him meant the world to me! He bought his cat, “Fu Shen” the very best food, toys, water and a litter box that flushed away with the toilet hookup! He told me several times he had awakened in his recliner to find Fu Shen on his chest with his nose in his face… checking to make sure his breathing was okay… his love affair with cats began, and grew until he passed away in 2017…. At the time we had about 30 cats and kittens we fostered… the happiest I’ve ever seen him!
This is very endearing. ❤
I am broke in terms of cats🥲
Not to mention he didn't realize just how CUTE they are!! Fostered...right...more like you made a half hearted attempt to find them a "forever home" and then was like aww, screw it, I'll just keep them for myself! That is often how "fostering" kitties goes, doesn't it? :D
U people are are crazy cat lovers so accept that all people are not cat lovers and don't dare any one to keep cat because of your Love for cats take people cats n keep them why 30 keep 100 and 1000
I'm team cat all the way, don't like dogs much everyone has their own opinion
Cat: *Scratches up arms whenever held*
Blonde lady: "Ow f*ck, the claws, the CLAWS!"
Also Blonde lady: "She's the best"
That's pretty much the nutshell explanation of having a cat.
Lol😹 I laughed so hard rn-
That's the joy of having a cat
Sounds accurate.
I mean if humans got claws like a cat, humans would be more dangerous than a cat itself. That's the beauty of cats
Begining of the video: "I hate cats. I've just never really liked them.."

Ooh, good idea... I should try that...
It is pretty easy to get a cat for free these days. They are called strays.
seriously strays are dirty and some are mean
I had all these rules for our kitten. She couldn’t be in our bed etc. The first night we put her in her bed and closed the door to the room. She meowed incessantly, so we opened the door, and I told my wife “she’s to small to jump on our bed,” she clawed her way into the bed and has slept with us for three years. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for her.
Am I the only one who thinks that the blonde woman and the cat are just exactly alike, personality-wise? GREAT match! :)

Yeah I thought so too. They didn't seem to like each other but then they became friends. Cute.

"They don't really love you."
I would actually argue the opposite? As I often tell people, dogs will love you regardless of almost anything you do, but if you have a cat's love you know it's because you actually _earned_ it.
I know.. in a family or a relationship everyone one has to give there love. if you don't give love to a cat before. how will that make it want to love you
How do you do italics on UA-cam?
Wrong.sone dogs just don’t like you, if you hurt any animal they will not love you.
@slate grey wrong. Dogs can be skittish and have trust issues so you “earn” there love to.
@Jankele K should of specified then. I don’t agree with that either
42. Had dogs my entire life. Adopted a cat last year.
Best thing ever.
It’s true. You’re not a cat person until you get a cat.
“ Your not a cat person until you get a cat.” Humanities best quote.
I like what the great German poet Goethe said: "A life without a cat is possible, but futile."
That is so true. I also thought I was a dog person. Until I got a cat by mistake. 😂
Cats blow! Don't get me wrong. I've met some nice ones. But the MAJORITY are complete aholes!!!
Wrong , I have had more than 6 cats, as soon as i got a dog, i became a dog person. They are way better and loving. I have never felt emotional towards an animal before except for my beautiful Belgian malinois. Cats on the other hand are just lazy and they like us doing everything for them, at the end of the day they don't care lol.
I have had 6- im not even old enough to drive ;-;
Cat purring on your lap is the best feeling in the entire world. Just calms you down. Pure happiness
People hate cats bc they think they should be cute and play around and blah blah blah blah BLAH. WELL that’s Truth love111 cats are calming instead of making u tired
You had the chance to say *Purrr happiness* 💀
@ I'm confused? My cats not a heartless monster, she doesnt growl at me, she just sits on my lap and sleeps
Soo isn’t your mom the best thing in the entire world??
I hate cats and dogs they are not cool
I really hate how dog people insist cat's don't actually love you. Just because you never managed to win a cat's affection doesn't mean they aren't capable of love.
Yeah
:Edit thanks for 3 likes
I'm a dog person but I'm not like that. But I'm glad others are like that, you were judging all of us anyway.
I was freezing cold once because our radiators broke. Before we could get them fixed, it was loads of blankets all round. Mine were thin. Our cat realised I was cold and snuggled up to me, it was just the best.
Same
I know right? Whenever I ask my friend if they love cats, some of them do and still like dogs. But when I ask a dog lover if they also like cats they get mad. LITERALLY. They say that cats destroy everything and they never love you back and they always scratch you when they never even owned a cat before. Like, why?
Having a dog is like having a child that never grows up - you get love without work but keeping them alive and healthy is a lot of work.
Having a cat is like having a roommate - taking care of them is not a lot of work but building a relationship with them takes effort.
Personally I prefer cats. I find it more rewarding to know that a cat likes me for being kind to them and I appreciate that I can just hang out with my cats without them needing something from me all the time (except food).
(don't forget attention, an ear to yell into when it started to rain at 5am, and a hand to mop up the puke)
That sounds so biased lol

My cat plays fetch. Relentlessly.
Befriending a cat feels like befriending a wild animal.
A cat loves you when they trust you. They don't automatically trust you but once they do. They REALLY love you. I wasn't a cat person until my first stray and I am so happy for that day otherwise I would have always just been a dog person. Now I am lucky to be both.
Couldn't have said it better myself. You are 100% correct
They don't love anyone at all FFS they literally use you for food and shelter they would happily go to anyone for the same reasons lol they genuinely don't love you at all , stop being so deluded, dogs are a man's best friend and will love unconditionally.
@@simonhughes6772 you are deluded for even saying that. Okay so a dog is capable of loving and a cat isn't. That is so ridiculous of you to say. When I sit down they come and sit next to me and purr. They have food in a bowl that's left out all day so I know they don't want food. When I move my cat to lay on her bed she gets right back up and comes back over to me. She wouldn't do that if she didn't care for me. When I am outside she follows me around and while I garden. She lays in the grass right next to me as I fix the flowers and follows me in when I finish she loves being around me.
The way I say it is "you aren't a cat person until a cat CHOOSES you?" Cats are way more like people than dogs are! There are a lot of people that you have to really work to become friends with and a lot of cats are that same way!
My parents always hated cats until I finally convinced them to let me get one. Now my dad spoils Freya, bringing her toys & playing with her while my mum feeds her way too many treats, haha

Cats are fantastic. Dogs are fantastic. They are both equally loving and heartwarming. One isn't better than the other; they're just different.

your comment is great!
Well said I agree
Dogs are better.
I have never adopted a cat in my life. They show up at my back door to adopt me. I consider myself to be quite lucky on that count.
nah ,i dunno about that....on our door also a lot of cats showed up,but they were just bored or wanted food. They had owners (our neighbours) and i would never keep a cat that shows up regulary. I mean its okey if you checked if they are missed by someone and cant find a owner. Imagine someone just keeps your cat, thats terrible.
@@maileensoundso1547 I totally agree, you shouldn't just keep cats that show up at your house, they most likely do have an owner that will miss them
@@missblueberry1033 When you walk the neighborhood with a sick/injured cat and keep getting every door closed in your face, then take the cat in and post it locally, pay the vet's bill, grow attached to it, keeping it is most certainly the right thing to do. When no one steps up and will admit to letting their pet out to get injured/sick or dumping it, it is pretty safe to say that you can keep that cat with no problem. I have never kept a cat that I didn't try to track down an owner. With that said, I currently have several who absolutely no one will claim. There are far more people tossing out cats that they don't care about (and who are too inconvenient) or dumping cats when they are hurt then you think.
100% true. It's they who really choose u not the other way around.
@@missblueberry1033 -- I have always tried to make sure the cat was a feral or stray, and put up fliers and even get flea collars on which II write "Am I your cat? If so call ...." Not once has anyone responded. In my area cats are throw-away creatures, and I am quite familiar with the neighbor cats and the colony and community cats that are only looking for a hand-out and not looking for a forever home.
I’ve had my cat for 18 years. She is my everything. She’s an old baby and i don’t know how anyone could hate her. She cries all night due to dementia sometimes, but I’m glad I’m able to be there for her in this time of need. And I will be there with her until she passes on :)

Nice name
tip: if you get a new cat and it goes under the couch or instantly hides, it's completely natural for cats. Do not try to lure them out or watch them instead just let them come out themselves at their own time.
Yep. Trying to go after them stresses them out. Cats will come to you once they sense you're safe. People that are stressed out about them stress them out in turn. Once you're calm, they'll be calm and want to be with you.
Cats are very alert in New areas as they are small and have retained their instincts much better than dogs have. If you leave it alone for a while it will gradually understand theres nothing to fear and will eventually walk around freely.
My kitten loves to hide under the bed and leaves a poop. She's got a litter box. But she's a very lovely kitten though. I really love her.
Dogs are predators but cats are both predators and prey
Cats are prey animals as well as predators. Dogs aren’t prey. That means that cats are more cautious and careful than dogs. They start off by finding a safe place to go if something bad happens.
I swear people think it’s quirky or something to hate cats, they never really had a cat they just say they hate them cause a cat scratched them once
Right on and it's unfair to compare a cat to a dog. It's like comparing a stapler to a sandal.
i loved cats growing up. then there was a demon cat in a shared flat i lived in. i am traumatised now. 😂

@@crazycupcakeize i´d feel sorry for the cat, but still i don´t want any cat in my house after that.

So are they doing it to be quirky or because they got scratched? You’re contradicting yourself. I personally dislike cats for neither of those reasons.
Cats are incredible. I got my Cat Jojo in November 1987 after my Mamma suddenly died, I looked for days found him in newspaper ad. When I got to his home the owner said he was going to Shelter because not nice. He came up to me knew how much pain I was in & just let me hold him crying screaming & Loved me. He saved my Life. All animals are gifts Dogs, cats, ect....
Okay, cats do really love you, you just have to earn their trust. And it depends on what cat you get; Some cats can be mean and terrible, and others can be sweet and loving.
Bermese and russian blues, males.
+Powdaqa lol Yes!
I don't think there's a mean pet
+Zynab Abdelhameed Hamsters are evil, lol. If there's a mean pet.. it's a dwarf hamster. Not sure who thought keeping hamsters was a good idea. Cuteness only goes so far..
Naw man I have a russian dwarf and he is the sweetest. You just have to be patient with them and treat them right.
I always laugh when people say "I'm not a cat person." And then they end up with a cat and become obsessed with them! My dad HATED cats, hated them with a passion and claimed he was "allergic" to them. Our neighbors moved and abandoned their cat Belle, who migrated into my parents yard. I was surprised when my dad said we could feed her outside because he hated strays in his yard. This went on for about a year or two when finally, this past winter we got really bad snow storms, he let her inside (on his own mind you, no one asked him if she could come in.) And the two have been best friends ever since. He won't admit it but he loves that cat, I'll catch him talking to her or snuggling with her and when I make a comment about it he just says "The cat wants food... you should feed her." Lol, it's so funny.
Lots of Dads are tough on the outside but total softies on the inside, almost the exact same thing happened with our Tabitha. She was left by the neighbors, fed on our porch for awhile, got too cold/wet outside so she came in on a "temporary" basis, now almost 20 years later she's curled up nice and snug with my dad cooing to her like she's a baby. ❤😽
My dad hated cats and my mom surprised me with a kitten as a graduation present. My dad got super pissed and when he found out and I was crying and begging him to let me keep him. Now my whole family loves my cat and they understand why I love cats so much lol
Bless your dad and the cat 😍
Sounds to me like your Dad is just being kind. There is a difference between loving a cat and just putting up with it. I absolutely detest cats. But if I saw one starving or out in the cold I would let it stay on my enclosed porch for the night. But that’s not because I love them. That’s because I’m a human being. And he’s out come morning.
My dad does the same!
I love how they fell in love with the cats. She’s so right, “you don’t know you’re a cat person until you get a cat.” She’s so right. My boyfriend hated cats and wouldn’t let me get one and I said, “screw you, I’m getting one anyways.” Now he loves cats and whenever he meets someone and finds out they have a cat he says, “Oh! I have a cat too!!” And starts showing off ALL of his cat photos. He loves meeting other cat people
Most cats do have a poop-parasite that alters the mind of their victims: making them more docile (aka easier to catch). Toxoplasma gondii. So it could be that he used to hate cats, until the cats injected their brain-parasite into him, now he loves cats. (just kidding more or less, toxoplasma only makes mice and rats more docile, the effects on humans is minute).
😍
Love You Nala I had a cat but I still hate them
The same thing happened to my best friend. She didn’t like cats a lot at first and we got into our first fight because of the cats vs dogs argument. Now she has a cat and loves both cats and dogs equally

My two cats are our greatest blessing. The girl always sits on the body part that’s not well like oh my head is sore she will sit on my head on my pillow and then she grounds on earth to release it . Cats are absolutely healing and beautiful. Proud cat mummy here 🩷
You don't know what you're missing until a cat adopts you 💕
wow I didn't know cats adopted humans
+Sarah Now you know 😽
Yep...I have two...
+Ella Santore I also have 2 cats

Yeah... my partner begrudgingly agreed to let me get a cat (dog person, apparently), and it took all of three days before he was absolutely besotted with her. "Are you even watching the film, or are you just staring at the cat?" "SHE'S JUST SO ADORABLE I CAN'T LOOK AWAY"
well I don’t blame him lmao
I just adopted a cat and can’t watch anything because I just end up staring at her. Glad I’m not alone in that
@@jinx506 nice
This 😂 my partner was the same and then he moved in with my cat and I, now I catch him doing this constantly. Eventually I have to tell him to give my cat space from all the lovin 😂
I mean that's understandable.
"They tear up everything". Girl, have you ever actually lived with a dog? 😂
A might scratch the side of the sofa. Our dog chewed a hole in the middle of the sofa, lol.
I don’t like dogs
Sir Teddy not everyone has to like dogs , you probably love dogs but it doesn’t mean I have to like dogs
Sir Teddy you know Hitler liked dogs right and had dogs? Liking dogs does not make you an angel
True! I got a puppy a few days ago and she’s made my whole house spell like pee and had teared up my couch (I’m not blaming her for that cuz she’s a dog I’m just saying)
When my husband and I first got together, he told me that he was 100% a dog person. He never grew up as a family pet when he was little, either.
I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs. I had two cats when we got together.
Currently, we now have SEVEN cats.
Please adopt me. I would love to live with seven cats. I currently have 3, but my parents have forbidden me from getting more.
@@ashleighmodglin 3 is enough I have 1!😂
My husband never grew up with a cat either - and now we also have seven cats!
My dad: I hate cats
Also my dad a few weeks after we got a cat: EVERYONE STAY AWAY FROM THAT PIECE OF STEAK I BOUGHT IT FOR RYAN ONLY (the name of our cat)

My mom’s friend used to hate cats. One day her daughter brought a cat to the house but she was scared and hated the cat. One month later or something, she started loving the cat more than her children
I thought the name of the cat was steak that was a confusing 5 seconds of my life
@@geraldismychild2280 I thought his name was only. XD
Same thing happened with my mom 😂
@@geraldismychild2280 omg xP
Most people that "hate" cats just probably had a bad experience,has never met a cat, or like listens to people who don't like cats.
Besides animals know when you're scared and react accordingly. So if they tried to pet a cat but were afraid, they made cat feel afraid and alert.
+raiahy true
just as with every sentinent being you dislike without knowing them properly
true
Yeah..
I don't know how people can say they don't like cats if they have never had them...
Right?! That annoys me. I know a lot of people at my job and even friends that are like that. 🙄
If they had ever owned a cat, they wouldn't say they didn't like them. It's essentially the same as the child who claims he doesn't like a kind of food when he's never even tried it.
I've noticed that a lot of people say they hate cats because they think they're evil and unloving but honestly they have only heard that. they'd need to actually get a cat to see for themselves /:
not a real name The black cat thing is just superstition and is even more baseless than people claiming they hate cat's.
I like black cats. My girl told me they are cheaper then other colored cats at shelters because no one wants them
Cats are the people who are very hard to understand and you almost have to earn their love but once you have a special bond that cat will always be loyal
Lady: "You are not a cat person until you get a cat."
That's what I am saying to cat haters
Cat Pillow i don’t hate cats perse, its just that cat owners let them run around outside day and night so although i didn’t choose to own a cat i now am obligated to have about six of them from the neighbours ,hunting after nesting birds, eating the baby hedgehogs in my garden etc.
Thats what i hate. You want a pet. Fine. But keep them in your own yard don’t bother the neighbours with them.
I used to hate cats, then I got a cat, and suddenly i devote myself to cats lol.
@@w.sommen5209 what? they’re outside, they’re not bothering you.
I still dont like cats. Try to change my point of view, that will be greatly appreciated
@@w.sommen5209 You sure they're owned and not just community cats?
Cats only turn evil if you sit there and annoy them. And if you raise them right they won't even hurt you when they are annoyed. My cat is a total sweet heart and if I even annoy him he very gently bites you, it doesn't leave a mark and you can't even feel it. If he scratches he does it by accident (like when he's playing or if he gets freaked out)
My opinions are the same. same with my cats too.
My cat has never hurt me before maybe cause his birthday was on Valentine's Day :3
Yeah if I annoy my cat he either nips you, never bites, or just gets up and leaves.
THATS WHAT EVERYONE SAYS BIT CATS ALWAHS BITE ME BECAUSE THEY SMELL THE SCENT OF MY DOG ON ME SO SHHH
Jaclyn McGreevy I have a dog and cats have never bit me because of that. Maybe you're just tasty ;)
I love how all of them ended up adopting the cats. Proves that every one has some cat person inside them.
yeah no not me. it seems like if you don't like cays on the internet everyone wants to kill you

+asseater007Try it for one week. Then you will see you are a cat person. Even a former teacher of mine said he hated cats then he adopted one or two and he can't get enough of them at all. I told him I told you so.
"You're not a cat person until you get a cat.” Extremely true!!! I don't have a cat YET but when my sister and brother got cats, I've loved them ever since!! I literally used to DESPISE cats even though I never interacted with them. Hope that people give cats more chances because they're amazing ❤
Mildred looks like the Thug Cat who knocks down glasses in front of their owner while looking them in the eyes
I've seen that video! Omg that was hilarious!

Of course, her name is MilDREAD.... I'll see myself out
People who never owned a cat and get their information from stereotypes are not entitled to an opinion.
Exactly
@Chad Mower yep. Mutual respect and admiration.
Everyone's entitled to an opinion. But, if your opinion is based on misinformation or stereotypes instead of research and evidence, your justifications will be like Rome; Taking forever to build and crumbling in one day.
@Chad Mower ikr!!! we adopted a street cat when she was pregnant and after 2 weeks she finally let us pet her n she started loving me back.. i had literal tears of joy and happiness.. thats some different level of happy I cant even explain 😭😭😭😭
I feel this same way since I have owned a poodle and a chihuahua. They were SOOOOO not like their stereotypes! They WERE annoying to listen to when they barked at the door, but otherwise, not like what people think of. Also, pet rats. People can only think of the wild, disease-infested ones, not the ones that are actually bred to be pets. Such sweet babies!
"Whatcha doing over there?"
*Cat licks butt*
"Wonderful."
Lady Suzanne yup 😂😂😂😂 i totaly agree 🐾
Shiny Toffee Koko butts are private parts too xD
That's life with a cat in a nutshell pretty much. One of mine starts gagging every time I come home from work.
My cat will legit start doing this next to me on the couch while I’m eating 🤮
I had a similar experience. I went with the stigma that cats are aloof and that they're not affectionate. Now, I've had a cat for 5 years who won't leave me alone! All Lil Fleasy wants is love and attention.
“They don’t really love you” .........they won’t love you if you don’t love them in the first place 😐
for a 2sd i thought the emoji was moveing and ur right
Exactly
CATS can feel negative energies
That's why they keep distance from toxic people.
My cat picks people that she will love or hate right from the start.
Well, they aren't loyal really.
Yes I swear cats can feel/understand humans emotion, like if you laugh at a cat when it does something funny then it’ll get moody and go away 😂
My husband said that he hate cats until I bring one to the house, at this day the cats sleeps with us in the same bed, follow my husband to the bathroom and wait there for him. Now he give kisses, play and pet the cat, and the cat love him. I mean I won.
your picture :D

I would lie about hating cats just so I could get a cat for a week. When the week is up, I wouldn't give the cat back.
Lol same
For sure
Same I love them too much
Same
im already in love with cats kittens and cute kittens
I became a cat lady at 44. I had no good experiences with cats and was scared of them because they didn't act like dogs. We decided we need a pandemic pet, but I wasn't sure I could live with the noise of a barking dog. My husband mentioned one day that there were hypoallergenic cats. It was like a ligh bulb turned on. I spent hours pouring over articles, books, videos, anything I could find to figure out the best breed for us. We have 2 wonderful Bengal cats now and I wish I'd done this earlier. I was always meant to have cats. Or maybe just my cats.
I hate how most people that hate cats never even have met or owned cats.
Mr. BunnyWabbit this was definitely me. Until we baby sat my sister in laws cat. Now we have 2 cats of our own. Cannot imagine my life without them.
Mr. BunnyWabbit i never hated cats but liked dogs more. i rescued a stray and love all 4 of my cats 😂 you definitely need to own one to see.
Mr. BunnyWabbit yeah they never owned a cat BECAUSE they hate cats?! It's like someone that hates the color blue buys only blue t-shirts?? Like why should someone get something if they hate it?
I've never really seen / touched a cat. I think they're cute but don't know how they act. My uncle had a cat but i never really saw it, she used to jump at me and claw my shoes when I did see it. I've had a bad experience with cats so I don't really like them..
Mr. BunnyWabbit I've had a cat and I still hate them
My husband was not a cat lover....until we adopted a rescue cat, our Sparky. By the end of one hour (seriously!) he was in love. She was his baby until she (and a Himalayan we got soon after) lived for 17 years. Now we have a very cute White Persian that needed a home. Her name is Squeek, she's a tiny little ball of fur...SO cute, until she eats. Then her face is very dirty so we give her face a wash. She doesn't seem to know where her mouth is!! She is very loved!
yay!
That's wonderful! Yet I couldn't help laughing at the last bit. I have a cat too, only that it came to us so we didn't adopt it. My mom used to hate cats, but now she likes them! His name is Crystal because we didn't know it was a boy, so...
my husband didn't like cats either until he met me. now he loves them. and they love to snuggle with him too
omg i can't handle it ! :D
so cuuute!
I have a hamalyan one too she is extremely cute😍😍😍
someone teach the poor blonde how to hold a cat lol
Right? ROFL!
Snoopy Schulz lol I was thinking the same thing.
I know like these people know nothing about cats
How do you hold a cat?
not like that, and certain cats like to be held differently or not at all
Honestly, I've always been a dog person. That is- until this summer when I got my cat xD She loves everyone in the house, she plays fetch and catch, and she's the sweetest little cuddle buddy ever- She's an awesome cat- I couldn't have ever asked for one better than her! Plus, she's very careful- if we put a toy on ourselves, normally she'd pounce, but she knows it would hurt us so she will sit and wait for it to go back on the floor xD She's the sweetest, and I've grown to love her so much even though it's only been eight months with her, and she's not even a year old yet. She really filled up my life, I can't imagine a single day without her- I judged cats too quickly until I got one- never pass up the chance for a cat- they'll really bring a whole new life of fun to you :)
Just got my first cat as an adult and my fiance was so adamant that "this is your cat" And "I don't like cats" And "I don't want anything to do with him"
It took him two weeks to go complete cat daddy.
Krista Alexander same exact thing happened with me
Haha same thing happened with my husband and I at first and now I catch them cuddling all the time and he refers to Lewis (cats name) as his "little buddy" 😂 it's so cute.
Haha I know exactly what you meant by cat daddy. That's a brilliant expression!
I have 2 cats and my big bro always say that he hate cats in front of us but when we are not around he likes to pat them I pretended once that I was sleeping and saw him 😂
Why bring your fiancé into everything? Have you his permission to write about him online?
I always hated cats but last year I found a stray kitten abandoned on the side of a road near my house and I couldn't bring myself to leave it there. Here we are a year later and I've got two cats now, both strays I took in. Can't imagine life w/o my cats now tbh 😂💛
Harieta Mitchell same story here girl... same story...
Harieta Mitchell aww I love hearing things like this! Most cat haters would just walk away from the cat and ignore it and I heard of some doing worse than that, but there’s awesome people like you that still care and try to help it anyway! Thanks Harieta!
Harieta Mitchell and the fact that you kept the cat too!
that's mad awesome of you to take in a stray like that ✌
Harieta Mitchell I adopted a kitten back in August, who is 7 months now, and a month or two ago we got two foster kittens, and now we are adopting both of them. 😂😻
"Youre not a cat person, until you get a cat"
So true 😭😭😭
I dont like cats but my 5yr old wants a dog which we cant get because we are just not home enough to care for one and Im tempted to get a cat but theyre just soo..snobby...so If I ever do give in..I hope this saying is true
+Chgo Gal they aren't snobby. They just like having space. Cat's minds are more similar to our minds than dog's minds are.
+Chgo Gal They're not snobby at all. They're just like people. Some of them are very social like dogs, but most of them respond to how you behave towards them. If they don't know you, they'll ignore you. But if you get to know and love them, they will love you back unconditionally. Plus cats are low maintenance (no need to bath them or walk them), and you don't have to pay attention to them all the time. Just a few moments of bonding a day is all you need (play time and feed time) and you let them do the rest (cuddle next to you, etc)
+Aes Sedai ya and also you don't need bath time cause when they lick them selves that means that they are taking a bath them selves but if they stay too long without bath time then you should totally bath them
Maisa Jabr Totally depends on the breed and if they're strictly indoors or not. Some breeds like the sphinx does need regular baths. And some like the abyssinian will volunteer for baths willingly lol (they love to swim). But my cat doesn't need one at all. She's strictly indoors and hasn't had a bath since we brought her home from the shelter 7 years ago and she's still fine, just needs occasional brushes :)
This is how you do advertising. 3 cats got adopted in the process of making sponsored content. I love it!

Kryptonite ! TRUE
Kryptonite ! YES
Last year my family helped a stray cat, she’d walk into our house when the back door was open, her paw was injured. We’d feed her and eventually she let us pet her, much to our other cats disliking (they eventually got along) but my family love animals too much not to help.
During the time of the cat becoming familiar with us we did our best to bandage her paw and we took pictures of her and went around our entire neighborhood to see if anyone recognized the cat in the picture but no one did so once she trusted us we took her to our local, trustworthy vets. She had no microchip and to the vet seemed somewhere between domestic and semi-feral because of her attitude and her fur which means she may have previously had an owner who didn’t intend on keeping or loving her. We left her with the vet for 48 hours, our vet bathed her, treated her paw better than we did, checked her for anything that could make our cat sick and gave her injections and flea treatment, he charged us half the normal price because we helped the cat and tried our best to help her paw. We adopted her formally and took her home when the vet called. We named her Luna because she had mysterious, moonlike eyes.
The one thing the vet didn’t do was check if she was pregnant but that was because she looked too young to be carrying kittens. She was only 7-8 months old. Not long later her little tummy grew and at first we just thought we were feeding her well but her tummy kept growing, we’d find her sleeping in odd positions that she didn’t sleep in at the start and she wouldn’t be more than a foot away from me or my mum, she’d randomly meow (she was usually a silent cat). One day I was gently rubbing her stomach and felt movement and later invited my friend around who has a queen (a cat who’s had a litter of kittens in the past) and she checked out the cat, she said that cat was definitely pregnant and would probably start trying to nest soon. She gave me some advice which included checking with the vet so we took her to the vet and he confirmed what my friend had told me.
One afternoon I couldn’t find Luna. I searched the entire house for her, eventually finding her in a laundry basket with a kittens little back paws sticking out underneath her tail, after a few minutes she started properly yowling in pain as she pushed. After two hours two kittens and a stillborn kitten lay in the laundry basket with her. She wouldn’t let me remove the stillborn kitten so I left her alone to lick it but the resuscitation tactics sadly didn’t work. One kitten was born with deformed legs and a jaw that wouldn’t close, 3 days later he sadly passed away. The one kitten, a little girl was perfectly healthy, a gorgeous gray/blue coloured fur once Luna had cleaned up.
Luna mourned the two kittens by howling when she was alone and while we were in bed or out of the house, she was a good mother to the surviving kitten, one night when the kitten was 2 weeks old she fell off the small beanbag that Luna had carried her to but Luna was in her litter box upstairs and the kitten was wiggling around silently so I picked her up and checked her to make sure she wasn’t injured (I wouldn’t leave the room the kitten was in just in case something bad happened) and Luna came back in and bit my leg, I crouched down and showed her the kitten was safe, Luna started licking my hand and then the kittens head. I found the cat carrier, took the lid part and the little door off and placed the bean bag inside and put the little kitten on the beanbag, Luna joined her shortly afterwards, gently licking the kitten.
Luna then glanced at me, for me it was a magical moment because for the first time I didn’t see her mysterious eyes, I saw trustful eyes. Luna trusted me which was a blessing. She let me handle the kitten to make sure she was alright, gently rub a finger over her head to pet her and examine her nails to make sure they weren’t broken because of the beanbags fabric.
Once the kitten was old enough we started weaning her away from Luna’s company and milk and eventually I introduced the kitten to one of my other friends and she instantly fell in love and wanted to adopt this kitten however they already had a cat who was 8 years old and grumpy, also my friends father cat hated cats (tolerated the cat that lived with them) but my friend was old enough to make her own decisions and adopted the kitten.
Not long later Luna sadly passed away, I was unaware because I was away on holiday. But her kitten was happily living with my friend. My friends father began to love the kitten, he’d watch her play and sleep with a smile. Their grumpy cat loved the kitten too, both my friends father and the cat had a new joy in life, this kitten also bought the family back together after some arguments.
All I can say is thank you Luna for bringing this beautiful kitten into everyone’s life, she made a cat hater and a cat who hates other cats love her just by being herself and I know Luna would’ve been proud! 💕
I almos cried, what a lovely story
Such a touching story. Thank you for that.
This was so beautiful

This is too long to read 😭❤️
Mildred is the scruffiest grumpiest looking little thing ugh love her, the name is perfect

Anyone who uses the word "hate" and any animals name in the same sentence is someone I would avoid.
That's some sociopathic stuff.
“They don’t really love you.” :( my cat literally jumps into my lap and purrs. She loves hugs and kisses and she so affectionate. Cats are capable of so much love!
True those idiots are so annoying I litterly once hat my kitten accidentally and fell on the floor crying and instead of attacking me it came on my lap and hugged me
My cats wait for me at the door when I come home from work. Just sitting there at the top of the stairs waiting for me to come in from the garage. 2 of the 3 follow me just about wherever I go in the house, including the bathroom, been a long time since I've had a private poo, haha. So when some people say cats aren't loyal, they've just never built and earned a bond and the love of a cat.
@@mew3553 You can't call people idiots and then misuse and misspell literally
Milfuelle100 my cats run to the door when I get home. They want to follow me everywhere and lay on my lap. They are so affectionate! I think cats are extremely smart and have to bond a little first before they give you their trust. That’s why I love them and find them so smart. I am the same way as a human. I’m not just gonna run up to a stranger and love them without knowing them first. Cats are definitely smarter than dogs if we are taking about people reading and trust. Maybe when cats don’t like a person they just can already see that that person isn’t very nice or kind.

Cats don’t warm up to you straight away like dogs. It takes a lot of time and patience for them to start liking you. And when they do, its worth it. In a way I prefer cats over dogs.
Nasexsav Kifs Yeah cats are like humans but like some dogs need patients to get used to you because some animals have been abused by human I swear animal abusers are the devil himself!

Me too! It was my brother who initially begged to get a kitten, but it was me who bonded with the catto the most. He really helped me get through rough patches of life.
Ok, I’m sorry but when she said, “they don’t really love you,” I was PEEVED cause it was such a wrong and ignorant statement.
Same!
same cats are so loveing and i dont now why people say they protend to love you if that they mabby even love you more than a dog when you pet a dog the dog gets enjoyment out of it cats feal nothing but they still let you pet them cos they love you
It seems like a hit or miss for me. I've had 4 cats in my life, 3 at one time, and the group of 3 were selfish and unloving. Not saying I would never get another cat but I turned out to be a dog person.
It might be a generalization, but I have met some cats who genuinely hated me and I did nothing to them. I remember my friend owned a cat who would hide under the couch I was sitting on and bite the back of my ankles and if I got careless and let my arm hang over the side of the couch, my fingers were getting viciously bitten. I hated that cat. But I have had a cat that just loved me instantly and I didn't have to do anything to get that love. Just from the moment he saw me and bopped his head against my shin, we were inseparable until he died to some dogs next door. So people who hate all cats just haven't met enough cats to know how awesome they can be.
Nah.. They don't love you. They tolerate you. You want them to love you.

I am amazed how ignorant people are not even trying to understand how to interact with cats. They will reward you with amazing love if you put effort into understanding them. Few that do, end up loving them. quick tip - never use your hands to play, always have a cat toy.
"I'm gonna have to wash her" I'm just laughing so hard because cats clean themselves and most hate water
My family fostered 3 cats 2 short hair and 1 long hair and the log haired one we called Darcy would get poo stuck to her and food so we had to wash her like 3 times but she enjoyed it after she got used to the fact that she couldn't leave till she was clean lol
I love cats that love water, it's so adorable. My cat likes and douse t like water at the same time. He douse t like to be in it but because we let our cat outside sometimes he gets dirt in his fur. Also that is a long haired cat and long hair cats need some help grooming some times.
Well I mean you still have to clean them
Thankfully my family's two cats aren't long hairs, so they're self-cleaning.
They still shed though.
you think licking itself will get that stuff of its face?? i doubt if it can even reach that area with its tongue.
they "clean" themselves, but you still need to properly wash them sometimes
I personally hate it when people say they hate cats when they've never owned one.

Couldn't agree with you more
I think it is more of because of things that have been said about cats example: Not loyal, claws up the house, those kind of things but I do agree with you
+kia but... Cats are loyal :(
Orion H. I know im just listing some rumors of what some people hear
I love cats and for some reason every person I've met that says they hate cats has interacted with a cat like one time. Once you get to know them they're amazing pets!
So true!
99% of the people who had a bad time with a cat just didnt understand how to interact with a cat and got scratched.
I think a HUGE part of it is that people just prefer different companionship, you know what I mean? Cats, dogs, lizards, birds, pigs, goats...You tend to get different types of love and interactions with those animals. People have different ways of connecting with others and our animals, like all relationships.
When I was living with my parents, our cat would come up to my bed and lay on my chest and start purring.
That felt amazing. And now whenever I feel stressed I hear that purring sound and it helps me relax.

Opposite in my experience, I like dogs more but cats can be cool too, but I know a cat person who find dogs repulsive, even puppies.
Im a dog person, and i just think dogs and cats are good depending on the person. If you want a pet to walk and have energetic action around with, get a dog. If you want something quiet and sits on your lap, get a cat. I dont see why people are treating either one like satan XD
"They don't really love you"
*pulls out a 500 page essay*
Hey, if a cat jumps a dog that's like 7 times bigger then itself to save its owner's son, I don't think you can say cats don't love you.

She litteraly freaks out when im in pain (cuz i have endometriosis) she moews as if shes calling for help and tries to confort me. People that think that cats dont love you obviously never had one!

DisturpedPentaholic Ive only had a cat once and he was the most caring creature ever! He once protected my mum from what he sensed as danger, he wouldn't let her go out the house because he heard glass being swept at the upstairs apartment!!
DisturpedPentaholic some cats don't love their life too, Grumpy Cats
DisturpedPentaholic EXACTLY!!! I got really sick recently and my kitty was with me EVERYWHERE at that time: shower? She's there. Pooping? She's there! Watching funny videos in bed to forget about the pressure of my existence and upcoming exams along with the rapidly growing fear of neglect? SHE. IS. THERE.
Sometimes she sleeps beside the front door while I'm at school and then welcomes me with the cutest kitty kisses ever. I don't know how people can say cats are evil, they're the sweetest things in the world!
She's laying in bed and watching youtube with me right now 😊
The Raven thats so cute! I recently got a new white kitten, about twelve weekd old. He has one green/yellow eye, and one blue eye. Had to drive like, four to five/six hours in total that day. Definitely worth it, hed so adorable, and he loves cuddling. Cats will love you if you treat them right.

Dogs will automatically like you. With cats, you need to earn their love. It takes time for them to warm up, trust you enough and become affectionate and cuddly.
Not all cats are like that. Some cats just need to smell you and you have to show them you are not threatening.
I must be special because cats flock to me :D
it takes a LONG time with some cats...
But it’s worth that!
Mar B. not for me 🤷♀️ all cats really seem to like me it’s weird
PSA cats like wider bowls because it’s easier to eat and it keeps their face clean. Their whiskers hitting the sides of the bowl can really hurt and irritate them 🙂
How to take care of a cat:
Feed
Clean litter
Much petting
How to take care of a dog:
Feed
Train
Dont show a disgusting cat or he will be scarred for life.
plants are irrelevant to me
You forgot
Walking and
Cleaning up after them
Dont forget to give them water!
And cuddles, plenty of cuddles
Vanilla Nipple I don't even have to clean my cats litter box he just uses the bathroom outside and then he comes inside when he's done on his own
And some playing!
This really goes to show that you can’t say you hate something until you have experience with it.
Nadz i love this comment

@Nadz did i do it?
Nadz, dude... just. *sigh*. Really? Cats aren’t parasites 😂
Nadz, now that I think about it I don’t like it either. I usually am not a fan of sappy statements. I kinda forgot I even made this comment, and I think I made it only with cats in mind
WHERE ARE ALL MY CRAZY CAT PEOPLE AT?

IM A CRAZY CAT MAN

Oh, hey
I adopted a cat because I was staying with my mom and her dog doesn't get along with other dogs. I had never had a cat, wasn't really fond of cats before. I didn't know what to expect and now he's my baby. He travels with me, he just melts my heart.
